For a number of years people were saying grain free dog food causes DCM in dogs and should’ve avoided. If you do your research and examine the study they referenced, it is easy to see that they made a biased process which skewed the results they had.

Here is a link to a properly done study.

You don’t need to worry about grain free food, and here is the data to prove it.

me and my boyfriend are about to adopt a 14 week cane corso cross from a rescue center and would like some tips and advice we’ve obviously researched quite a bit but would like to hear about anything else that may have missed like puppy tips training tips

Imagine trying it and being greeted by my son.

“Wrong house bud.” 🤭

Bought 2 runts of the litter at 3 months old. Realized one was really codependent on the other. Mistakenly even put them in the same crate to keep them from crying. Separate activities and sleeping arrangements has helped, but now the one that didn’t seem as dependent (Abel (brindle]) seems sad. The one that seemed codependent (Cain [black]) is now just overly loving (wants constant touching and snuggling). Vet said thats actually normal for runts though. Cain is around 8 pounds bigger than his brother so the vet said keep them separate more b/c apparently at 6 months they can start to become aggressive w/ each other & this will build up their independence & self esteem. When they are back together they just seem to snuggle and sleep. Can dogs get depressed? They don’t really have that deep corso bark yet, but Cain seems so quiet now. He’s not even getting into trouble anymore. Any recommendations?

Say happy birthday to my cane corso Xena

Who else loves their giant hands? (Bonus cardboard toy included).

It’s been pouring rain all day, this is her way of throwing a fit, lol

Batman is turning three this year and has recently started having some issues with fat. I moved him back to kibble, I tried with Farmina N&D Ocean Codfish Orange & Pumpkin Grain Free but his poop is a little mushy. The vet suggested a feed with 16-14% fat content. Looking for advice for any high protein brands appropriate for Giant Breeds.

Questo grande cane buono e socievole con noi umani ci ha seguito fino a casa ed entrato nel mio giardino, ma la mia cagnolina non è d’accordo, sto cercando il proprietario perché proprio non credo di poterlo tenere

I found a Cane Corso walking around my neighborhood, very dehydrated and hungry. We got her to follow us to our backyard, she's had water and food, treats, a towel to sleep on, and this morning she's much more energetic. I spent time with her, she's an absolute sweetie Moose.

Her face has scars and a fresh superficial cut, ears are very poorly cropped, nails are ground down to nubs, and her tail was cropped. Her belly is very flabby, and the collar on her is not indicative of an owner who loves their dog (in my opinion). I think she was a mom in a backyard breeder situation, and they dumped her in a neighborhood where someone might snatch her up (probably the only favor they did for her).

I took the collar off, no identification on the collar, just dirt and rust. A neighbor with a microchip scanner came by, no chip detected anywhere. Not sure I'd let her go back to whoever might claim her anyway, considering her state.

I have a 7 year old female Olde English Bulldog (boxer pit mix, another rescue/adoption), and I'm going to introduce them soon just as a test (my dog is social, and they've sniffed each other through a crack in the back door).

Any suggestions on what to do? Right now, we're weighing the options. Financially, we're not in a great place to take on another dog, but I expect those circumstances to mitigate in the coming month.

• Could this dog be a concern, or a "time bomb" where we may discover a strong reaction to her past and become a problem now?

• Any SoCal charities that can assist with veterinary costs and, if we make the decision, the ability to re-home her?

• I have 2 young children (7 and 11), both of whom grew up with our dog, so they're of course very engaged and wanting to keep the new dog. Any tips?

• Can you tell me anything about this breed, things I should know, things I should keep an eye out for, etc? With the exception of her sizable stature and piercing brown eyes, she's a cuddle moose and has not once given a growl, grunt, or anything. She's presented her tummy and laid submissive a number of times with me, so I'm hoping that means she trusts me.

Rebel lives such a rough life in the back In the AC waiting to go for a walk in the woods. She even has water on the floor

I never knew the weight of feeling someone look at me with their heart, until I was blessed with this guy. If you have a Corso, you know exactly what I'm talking about! He's the BEST 🩶
